Money isn't everything. What if someone has millions of dollars and doesn't care about money anymore? What keeps them?

I'm not sure what you mean? I suppose if someone stops liking the idea of Steem they can sell all their coins and leave, or they can keep them all and walk away.
I doubt the ladder will happen, but it could and that's fine. I see no reason for it to be a problem for someone to never use or sell their coins because they only count if they actively upvote. The inflation pool rewards people based on upvote activity, thus, inactive whales really don't hurt active minnows in their efforts to profit.
Additionally, inflation serves to reduce the prominence of inactive whales because more supply enters the ecosystem to non-whale accounts re-balancing distribution.
